What it does
Claude Cowork is the agent side of Claude. You hand it a task and it works directly in the folders and tools you choose, opens a browser for web tasks, shows each step as it goes, and keeps running after you close your laptop, including on a schedule. Anthropic is folding it into the main Claude app ("Claude Cowork is now just Claude"), rolling out to Pro and Max first.
